Or better yet, why didn't Usagi tell her dad? He's a journalist!

I guess that plays into the story somehow...

I mean, it wouldn't be near as weird if the tent wasn't suspended in thin air....

Yes, but here's what got me:

Usagi: Huh...a giant tent..OH WELL THAT MUST HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE =D *FORGETS* WAIT UP, GUYS.

I mean..GOD. how frustrating. XDD I wanted to smack her upside the head.

Well, yes, the fact that it's suspended in air is what makes it creepy and weird =P that was my point.

Note that in the first episode of SuperS, Usagi actually did consciously register the tent, but seemed to forget it once her concentration was broken. The Lemures do drop some hints about the humans not being able to see them, but I don't recall there ever being a full explanation.

Well... later on they go inside the tent to the circus...

Given that I haven't seen more than a few episodes of SuperS, I didn't know that =P

Sorry Tiff. I'll use spoilers next time...

(Don't worry, it doesn't give away anything.)

Oh! Don't get me wrong! I didn't say that cuz it was spoilers or anything (becuase it wasn't), but I was making the point that I didn't know they had gone into the tent and therefore, acknowledged its existance.

Yeah, what is "Racdonalds", exactly? It's referred to in episode 51. Is it just SM's parody of McDonalds, or something else?

Yea, but she couldn't tell her dad because he mysteriously disapeered off the face of the earth in Sailor Monn R!

But, he got mentioned atleast once in Super S.

EDIT:

Sorry, I missed this...

1. Looks like, although was there anything else about the manga that looked similiar?

Just the fact that it was so dramatic, and Drop (the girl of the manga) had HUGE freaking eyes like Candy. XD

I have a little question about the R movie.
When the senshi must return to Earth from that asteroid, Fiore says they don't have enough power to do that. So Sailor Moon decides to solve the problem with the Silver Crystal. Afterwards, the others support her with their powers and we know the rest.

Now, if they had this much power left, why the heck didn't they just use the Sailor teleport instead of making Usagi die ?

After the asteroid stopped above Earth, Usagi got her life back etc., I think they had to use the Sailor teleport anyway, in order to return home. So what was the purpose of the whole - struggling, using the crystal, singing It's moon revenge- thing ?

To my mind, they just wanted an exciting climax to make more money.

Oh so you want an asteroid to crush into Earth?

.... Me neither

Or did I get your question wrong? If so, sorry ^^

That's...generally the point of movies. =P What fun would a movie be if there was no good climax, no good music, and the ending were boring?

Yes, you're right, Tiff.
I just thought: Poor Usagi, why does she have to die so many times ?

I think they couldn't use the Sailor Teleport because they had Tuxedo Mask with them and the Sailor Teleport can only normally teleport Sailor Soldiers. Teleporting an extra non-soldier character would've used up too much energy. I believe they stated this in episode 74 when they had to teleport off of Rubeus' UFO but they had Chibi-usa with them and they had already used up too much energy during the fight against Rubeus. Perhaps using the Sailor Teleport requires more energy than the Silver Crystal? They did after all use the Sailor Teleport to travel all the way out in outer space. But this begs the question how did they get off the asteroid after they stopped it and they were stuck out there hovering around the earth's atmosphere if they were too weak to use the Sailor Teleport?

Through the power of the magicplotdevice Silver Crystal!

Crecent beam · Post by **Crecent beam** » Tue Aug 08, 2006 9:27 am

I see what you mean, Cardcaptor Takato. Such a thing happened when the soldiers couldn't teleport Hotaru and Chibiusa at the same time in SMS.
However, in episode 74, Chibiusa used her powers and managed to teleport along with the others.

I think they could've used this tecnique even with Tuxedo Kamen, since he also posesses powers (a true star seed and the ability to heal (eps. 123-4, 148)).

Now that I think about it, Hotaru could have teleported as well. It's not that she couldn't, the senshi thought so because they didn't know about her identity.

so if they had sailor teleported, they would have died? its an ok theory, but i think using the silver crystel would use more energy. after all, aren't luna and company always telling usagi not to use the silver crytal? you never hear them say "don't teleport! it'll kill you too!"

From Wikipedia, which can describe it better than I can:

"Cram schools (also known as crammers) are specialized schools that train their students to meet particular goals, most commonly to pass the entrance examinations of high schools or universities. The English name is derived from the slang term "cramming," meaning to study hard or to study a large amount of material in a short period of time."

In the Sailor Moon universe, Ami is going there for studying for the high-school entrance exams.
